Best of both worlds!

Get a Michael Vagnino Zip-Slip.
Here's my custom:
Here's one of the mid-techs:
On handed opener, everflush back spacer, pivot bearings, pocket clip. Absolutely stunning slip-joint. They some in a very wide variety of blade shapes, handle materials, with or without grooves, with or without a front choil.

I will try to get a picture tonight after work.

Works on both, 110 in the picture though. Comes with a small Allen wrench to install, holds on by tightening a set screw against the blade, have had some on 110's for awhile now, and never had one come loose or slip.

Since this thread is now in General....
This little Kershaw Double Cross is a nice crossover, one-hand knife. No longer in production, but still available here and there for around $75. Damascus blades & a neat single liner lock that locks both blades. I've got one and love it.

How's the lockup/bladeplay on yours?

Zero blade play and decent lockup. The only negative is that the liner lock is relatively thin. I think that hard use could be an issue for some folks. No issue here, though, and for an EDC it works fine.
BTW, I can't reply to your email. Seems you're not set up to receive return email.

Try this thread I just made. I have been meaning to do a thread anyway.

Either or
Many single blade slip joints and locking folders can be easily one hand opened without studs or spydie holes. Pinch the spine of the blade with tip facing out. Push the frame down with your 3rd and 4th fingers to get the blade above the butt of the handle. Hook the butt of the handle on your thigh and open the knive.
I do this with Opinels (safest, lacking springs), Buck and Schrade lockbacks and modern flippers.
IME, this all boils down to deployment speed and practice. The method I've described isn't hard, but it does require practice (commuting to work?). Speed... This is fast enough for shop work.
